Fallout 4 is one of the most highly anticipated titles of 2015. Fans of the series (including myself) have been anxiously awaiting the new installment for years, and now it’s finally in our hands. I’ve been playing Fallout 4 for a few weeks now, and though I know I’ve seen far from everything the game has to offer, I think I’m ready to ...
Read More »List of Xbox One backwards compatibility games revealed
One of the most requested features for what is now considered the current generation of consoles was backwards compatibility, an understandable demand considering how relatively sparse the games library for both the PS4 and Xbox One were at launch. Unfortunately, backwards compatibility was swept under the rug by both consoles until November 12th, when the Xbox One will receive an ...
Read More »Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Review – Back In Sync
After standing in line for the midnight release of Unity last year and getting home to a broken game that I couldn’t even bring myself to finish (despite the enormous amount of potential that the setting provided), I was afraid for Syndicate (though, at the time, we all thought we’d be playing a game called Assassin’s Creed Victory).

Halloween is upon us, and, for gamers, that can only mean one thing: It’s time to play (or replay) some amazing horror-based games. Video games have become just as much of a Halloween tradition as scary movies, haunted houses, and pumpkin patches.

In the beginning, there was Halo: Combat Evolved, and while it was incredibly basic by modern standards, it was good.

Read More »Guitar Hero Live Review – Comeback Kid
Guitar Hero Live marks the return of a series that changed the rhythm game genre forever when it began in 2005. After 2010, it seemed like the series was dead. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock launched, but it looked like that was the end of things. Industry experts declared that the era of plastic guitar controllers was over, and we believed them. Now, though, in ...
Read More »Onigiri is a Crazy Awesome MMORPG
Onigiri was released in Japan last year, and now it’s finally available in North America. Though you could technically access the game from any Xbox One in the world by changing the system settings, it wasn’t very useful unless you can speak Japanese. After playing the Japanese version for a bit, I couldn’t wait for the game to launch in North ...
Read More »Castle Crashers Remastered Review
Castle Crashers was one of the biggest games on the Xbox 360’s Xbox Live Arcade. Its bright art style, excellent multiplayer, and insanely fun gameplay made it an instant hit. Since then, we haven’t really seen much like it. Thankfully, The Behemoth has seen it fit to bring the glorious adventure into the next generation with Castle Crashers Remastered on Xbox One. ...

Like almost every other game these days, Destiny just got a major update to prepare for the upcoming Taken King expansion pack. Weighing in at around 18 GB, a substantial amount of content was added and tweaked, especially in regards to the Crucible PvP mode.
